I got both specs, and found no difference at first read.  Even in the
FreeBSD driver, the only difference is in I2C adresses, and I did not
find anything related to these in the tuner specs.

Not even a signature.  Does Haupuage cards use Temic PAL tuners ?
If they use only Philips, maybe that can be the difference we
are seeking to make the auto detection.
